lol someone’s triggered franky I wouldn’t own a Jeep either... So you played around on some forest roads...Ok. Ever taken either of them around the globe? Show me a cayenne that is a true expedition vehicle that doesn’t have a team of other vehicles to support it and I’ll shut up.

But milwaukee batteries don't work in a Ryobi. Ryobi is decent for the weekend warrior Home Depot folks doing little projects around the house. I was a GC for years. The Ryobi tools I have owned are not nearly as good quality as Milwaukee. Some of my M18 tools I have had for 8+ years and...

40k-100k miles is irrelevant on a Toyota as long as it was cared for. Get the one you like better, don't worry about the mileage. Both are reliable and stout. If it were me I would go for the Land Cruiser, even with 200k miles on it. I test drove a newer 4Runner and they are turds. Compared...

I have a poulan I got at harbor freight for like $140. Works at any elevation. With all my milwaukee power tools, including some 12 AH batteries, I’d go with theirs but the milwaukee electric chainsaw is $300. I could buy two more Poulans for that price.

RVs are cheaply built in general. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

To be fair it does say "almost perfect" edition on the side. Presumably, it's the first run of their cheaper product from the China plant and that's also who performed the packaging. It's almost as if they didn't expect it to be perfect and clearly advertised it that way ;) I don't disagree...

The shell models are just fine as they are. No reason to build them out. Get a "little buddy" heater, 20 lb propane tank, fold-up table, 5 gallon bucket to crap in, and a storage tub kitchen. You already have a power block. That's all I ever rocked in mine. Slept in that thing on some...

Picked these up in hopes of relieving the need for mud-flaps... but my advice is; Don't waste your money. I couldn't get past these crappy "seal" strips, they have adhesive inside the channel that fits onto the flare. The strips come wadded up in a ball from Bushwhacker and are cut-to-fit...

Good to hear re:spare. I picked up a used duratrac in the same size to throw on the steelie.

285/75/18s are on, no rubbing on or off road. The Yokohama Geolandar X-AT is allegedly a 35.1" tire. No CMC in my future, no UCA needed, this works great and the truck also drives great with the 4.88s. I tested out the E-lockers front and rear last evening up on Bill Moore Lake trail. Not...

Inflation and supply/demand has prices at seemingly all time highs for lots of things. This isn't limited to lumber and ammo. Houses, Tires & Toyotas are super expensive too. The job market is also insane. I'm seeing real employment offers in my field with a 30-35% pay increase for lateral...

My buddy just swapped an LS1 into his Mustang... people make odd choices and odd people stick with that "I only buy 'Murican" mentality. That being said, I ordered some dealer parts for my Tundra (5.7) and was appalled to find some of them stamped "AC Delco". These were front end pulley/belt...

You’re focusing on the 4.7, ignoring the chain driven 4.6 & 5.7. I don’t spend time at the track but used to. You see a lot of interesting things there, most I would not take on a true adventure. Usage profile is apples and oranges. Reliability is less of a concern. Again, as I have stated...

Sick

Ditching the method wheels, can't seem to get a ship date out of 4WP. I'll be going with 285/75/18s in the Geolandar X-AT (35.1") on stock wheels instead of 35x12.5s as well. An extra 1-1.5" of tire width does not seem worth the effort or MPG sacrifice. Never like the look of aftermarket...

I've done at least 4 belts on a 4.7. That's not "opening the engine" that is regular maintenance.

LOL I've never had a reason to pull a 4.7 or 5.7 apart, thus my point...

Toyota's 5.7/4.7 are better motors than the LS. There are lots of swaps out there in other vehicles where the LS has to come back out right away due to various issues, most I have seen involve no oil pressure on startup. I have 2 personal friends this happened to. Low mileage donors too...
